My husband and I have been trying to find out what kind of tree we have, or if the tree is just a weedy elm and is infested with some kind of disease. Almost all of it's branches are covered with a woody substance that make it's branches look like wings. Husband calls it a "Winged Elm", but I have my doubts. Looks like a problem to me. |

Winged Elm is a very nice native, valued by those who know what they are. I'm not especially knowledgeable about them, tho' I have seen one or two, and have them on my list of 'to get'. Of course without a picture it's a little hard to tell if that's what it is! |

I should have said, I know it's hard for some of us to believe, but husbands aren't always wrong! He may know more than you think! |
Can we post pictures on this site? |
- Posted by greenelbows1 z9--so LA (My Page) on Sun, Jan 9, 05 at 19:40
Well, I can't--don't even have a camera--but I think it's possible if you know what you're doing (which obviously I don't) Now that you bring it up, I don't remember seeing pictures at least very recently, but I don't see why not. |
If you have your pictures stored on a photo hosting site like Picturetrail (there are others, but I don't remember their names), you can insert a picture into your post. Some sites already have this put together for you, but if not, it goes like this: (img src=insert the url here) except you replace the () with <>. Here's a sample: I believe there is also a way to post directly from your computer, but I never learned that method. Hope this helps! |

Our fruit trees has some kind of stuff like this on them. Or from the way you describe it, it sounds like the same stuff. When the apple tree was young, DH got out there and scraped it off with his knife and the next summer it was right back on there. |

On March 26, Idaho enacted SB 1314, which, among other things, prohibits payday lenders from making a loan that exceeds 25% of the borrower's gross monthly income at the time the loan is made. The bill provides a safe harbor for lenders if the borrower presents evidence of gross monthly income or represents in writing that the payday loan does not exceed 25% of the borrower's gross monthly income. The bill also requires lenders to, upon request, allow borrowers to enter into extended repayment plans. Lenders cannot charge any additional fees related to such plans, but lenders are not required to enter into an extended plan with a borrower more than one time in any 12-month period. Finally, the bill requires specific written disclosures and prohibits payday lenders from presenting a borrower's check to a depository institution more than two times. The changes take effect July 1, 2014.

Slap rap for Billie's boyfriend
BILLIE Pipers boyfriend has got a police caution for hitting a cameraman outside the theatre where they are performing.
Laurence Fox, 28, swung at the man, hurting his ear, at the Garrick in Londons West End after appearing in Treats.
He was cautioned for assault at Charing Cross police station. It will stay on his record for three years and may prevent him getting a visa to perform in the US.
A police spokesman said: A caution means that you have admitted guilt and avoids going through the courts.
Last night Foxs spokesman refused to comment.

We have a beat up, ugly, high maintenace cedar deck attached to the second level of our house. There is a flat-roofed room below it.
We want to redo the deck, and are considering porcelain tile. Several deck builders discouraged us. However, a home builder said it could be done easily, by laying Hardiplank over the existing deck to created a solid subfloor, then the tile on top. Any opinions? Is it a reasonable idea, or should be stick with a wood or composite deck? |

I would never bid a job like that,if this home builder is willing to stand by it for a few years after completion you might want to check if its time for his medication. John |
- Posted by ginger_texas (My Page) on Sat, Aug 13, 05 at 9:26
John, Thanks for your response. This guy did seem a bit manic. Why exactly is is a bad idea? Is it because the tiles are too heavy? Will they eventually shift or crack due to instability of the subfloor? |
- Posted by John_Hyatt (My Page) on Sat, Aug 13, 05 at 17:57
Ya Know Ginger,its not a bad idea,,,,,I have been playing with the tile thing for a while that is adding it on the corners or in the middle or around a fire pit. Its not the weight ipe would more weight its framing for the cement board, seeing as how someone might walk on it and all, x 100 for an upstairs project. If the cement board was installed over a wood deck we are back to movement issues, plywood might work but those little bug guys just love that stuff preasure treated or no thats why I am still thinking accent and not the entire floor,,less movement. Idea>>>> this would take perfect weather, install PT pine klin dried 2x6 Tounge & Grouve over 16'' on center joists with counstruction adhesive face fastened with ss screws, over this screw down the cement board with the same glue, use fiberglass web tape on the seams and glue down the tiles with high grade counstruction adhesive the kind that will take to frozen wood, grout in with outdoor stuff,seal the whole thing with tilt up concret sealer. I am thinking this would work all I am waiting for is someone to pay me to try it. John |
- Posted by ginger_texas (My Page) on Mon, Aug 15, 05 at 13:30
John, Very interesting...sounds pretty complex! Anyway, we decided to skip the ceramic idea. After looking at composite and ipe decks, we fell in love with the ipe and will use it instead. Thanks for your information and opinions! |

I painted my second story cedar deck with porch paint, then laid 12 x 12 slate tiles over the top as closely as possible. I did not glue or thinset or anything. I just laid them down. It has been 3 years. I was curious to see if anything was happening underneath so I picked up one row down the very middle. Everything looks good;no bugs, no mildew, no mold. The deck is now maintenance free like I wanted from the beginning and is more beautiful than ever! |

An analytical look at five significant questions in college basketball this week:
1. It seems as if there'll be a lot of "good" point guards on the court this upcoming season. Do you see any "great" ones on the horizon?
On the horizon, sure: Kasey Hill and Tyus Jones. But Hill doesn't arrive at Florida until the 2013-14 season, and Jones is only now beginning his junior year in high school.
In college this season? No.
Allow me to qualify that a bit. Ohio State's Aaron Craft is a first-rate offensive point guard. He takes good care of the ball, gets it where it needs to be and can be counted on to make a jumpshot. If he steps up his production, he could become a genuine star.
That's because he is the best defensive point guard of the past 20 years.
The wreckage of excellent point guards Craft has left in his wake is astounding to behold. Kansas' Tyshawn Taylor shot 3-of-11 and committed five turnovers against him. Gonzaga's Kevin Pangos went 3-of-13 for 10 points. Michigan State's Keith Appling had two shots against Craft in eight days and wound up 6-of-19 from the field for an average of 7.5 points.
There are lots of capable point guards in college basketball, including Louisville's Peyton Siva, Murray State's Isaiah Canaan and Texas' Myck Kabongo, and Kansas' Elijah Johnson should successfully convert from playing off the ball. But there is no one on the order of Chris Paul, Derrick Rose or Deron Williams. Not for a year or two, anyway.
2. Should the NCAA not clear top freshman Rodney Purvis to play this season, how much would that hurt N.C. State?
Tremendously. Although the people at N.C. State are hopeful Purvis will be declared a full qualifier and allowed to practice and compete as a freshman, there is no assurance that will happen. The NCAA has indicated it is pursuing an extended evaluation of Upper Room Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C. Purvis was a member of its first graduating class.
If Purvis is unavailable to the Pack, their roster descends from lean to perilously thin. Even with him, they only have nine scholarship players. The transfer of reserve center DeShawn Painter in April was a blow to the front line, and losing Purvis would be at least as damaging to the team's perimeter game.
The good news for N.C. State is that T.J. Warren, the team's other freshman wing, played exceptionally well on the Wolfpack's recent trip to Spain. So there is reason to believe the Pack have a capable complement to first-rate point guard Lorenzo Brown. A team aspiring to win a league as formidable as the ACC, though, would prefer to have more than one answer to each important question.
3. In this world of constant transfers, were you surprised that big man Keith Clanton stayed at Central Florida despite the postseason ban?
Honestly, I wasn't. It was nice to see Clanton make a sound, rational decision about his future.
Transferring as a senior was bound to be an academic setback. He has put three years into UCF, and there's no guarantee another school would have accepted all the credits he has earned.
More to the point, Clanton averaged 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds last season. Although he is 6-9, 245 pounds and clearly ranked as the team's most important interior force, he was given the freedom to fire 116 3-point shots as a junior.
He didn't make enough of them (33.6 percent) to prove this was the ideal approach for the Knights, but it'll be important for Clanton as he pursues a professional career to have demonstrated some comfort as a face-the-goal forward. Had he gone to a different school, it's possible -- perhaps even likely -- his development in this area would have been discouraged.
"I love this team, and my dreams and goals can be fulfilled here," Clanton announced on Twitter. And he was right.
4. Sporting News has seven non-BCS clubs in its preseason Top 25: Creighton, Gonzaga, Memphis, Murray State, San Diego State, UNLV and VCU. Which one has the biggest upside?
As the Joe Jackson-Tarik Black-Chris Crawford class begins its third season — the first without star forward Will Barton — Memphis still has not quite mastered its potential. And that's OK.
It might not be OK for Tigers fans, excited for years about what this group might be able to accomplish, but it's understandable given that the team has gotten almost nothing of value from the veterans who remained in the program as this class arrived.
Now, these guys are the vets. They've won the Conference USA Tournament twice, and under considerable pressure because in neither season was an NCAA Tournament bid assured. They've been in the NCAAs twice. They've played reasonably well both times but were eliminated in the first game. So they've felt that distinct brand of disappointment.
The addition of McDonald's All-American Shaq Goodwin, who performed well for the United States at the FIBA Americas Under-18 Championships, gives the team another big body to help Black inside. Jackson's second consecutive MVP performance in the C-USA Tournament finally might have convinced everyone what a dynamic force he can be.
There needs to be considerable defensive progress from everyone involved. If that is achieved, Memphis could be Final Four good.
5. Indiana coach Tom Crean tweeted out a picture this week of him hanging with rapper Young Jeezy and NBA champ Dwyane Wade? Which acquaintance might be more helpful in recruiting?
If Crean were trying to recruit Jay Bilas, I'd say Jeezy. But I don't think that's the idea. I'm not going to go so far as to say Bilas is past his prime, but I am certain he is out of eligibility.
The players Crean does want for IU all would love to be in Wade's shoes 10 years from now. Well, a decade ago, Wade was an underrated, under-recruited shooting guard in Chicago. He spent three years with Crean, and now he has a Final Four and two NBA titles on his resume. These facts do not appear to be entirely coincidental.

Sometimes we are overcome with evil that exists in the world
CORPUS CHRISTI - On April 14, the Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram, abducted more than 300 girls who were taking exams at the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria. Fifty-six managed to escape, but 276 remain captive. Amnesty International reported that the Nigerian government had four hours of warning before the abduction, but did not act for fear of engaging the armed rebels. It appears the majority of the girls are Christians who are being threatened with their lives to convert to Islam.

Watch as Travis flies through the skies of 'Nam, picking up soldier passengers, listening to them complain about their lives!
Cringe as Travis attempts to ask a couple of USO showgirls out on a date!
Walk out after Bickle starts banging on about how a tropical rain is going to come to wash all the scum off the trees!
The Sequel To The Prequel:
In Helicopter Pilot 2: Construction Worker, Travis completes his tour of duty and returns to America, getting a short-term contract job on a building site.
He completes his contract without incident, with only an occassional muttering under his breath giving us any clue to his state of mind.
At one point, he does say: "Are you talking to me?" But someone actually is, so the scene isn't really all that interesting.
Prequel To:
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Plot:
Anna Kendrick is Nurse Ratched in this incident-free look at a group of mental insitution residents, who are all well-medicated and cared for within a strict system designed to keep them safe, balanced and happy.
Meanwhile, notorious paedophile R.P McMurphy (Zachary Quinto) is being hunted by a dedicated team of cops, determined to track and arrest the sick career criminal before he strikes again…
The Sequel To The Prequel:
In One Might Fly Over The Cuckoo's Nest, R.P has been arrested and is standing trial for his crimes.
Meanwhile, Nurse Ratched's mental institution carries on as normal, providing comfort and care for her well-treated patients.
Features an out-of-place subplot in which Christopher Lloyd's Taber insists that he can build a time machine using a car and something he 'invented' in the toilet.
Prequel To:
Raging Bull
The Plot:
Starring Cam Gigandet as Jake LaMotta, a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, whose rage needs to be channelled into something positive.
Enter Forest Whitaker as Mr Bully, a gruff ex-boxer turned gym teacher with a heart of gold, who sees a spark of talent in Jake, and decides to train him up for the College Golden Glove Championships.
Featuring an in-joke cameo from Cathy Moriarty as the English teacher Miss Thailer.
The Sequel To The Prequel:
Training Bull 2: Angry Bull. Following Jake's College victory, Mr Bully decides that LaMotta is ready to go national.
But the pressure of the competition gets to Jake and his old anger management issues start to resurface...
Featuring a logic-stretching cameo from Joe Pesci as Jake's dad, Joey.
Prequel To:
The Elephant Man
The Plot:
Michael Cera is John Merrick, an 18-year-old outcast, who's bullied at school and rejected by his alcoholic stepfather, because of his massive head.
But when he discovers a gift for American football, Merrick embarks on a journey that leads to love, acceptance and the creation of a really big, weirdly shaped, helmet.
The Sequel To The Prequel:
The Elephant Trunk. As a result of Merrick's school sports success, John manages to secure himself a cheerleader girlfriend, and decides it's time to lose his virginity.
Cue American Pie style scrapes and a finale that pushes gross-out comedy to its very limits.
Prequel to:
The Wizard Of Oz
The Plot:
Megan Fox is Dorothy, a simple farm girl who spends her days collecting eggs from hens, and taking her little dog Toto into town.
The film ends on a weather report which postulates that a hurricane might pass through Kansas at some point in the future.
And that's literally the most exciting thing that happens during the film's six hour run-time.
The Sequel To The Prequel:
The Girl Of Kansas 2: The Legend Of Toto's Gold. Dorothy finds an old family letter that suggests that Toto once belonged to a Spanish prince, who buried a chest full of golden doubloons somewhere on the Gale farm.
In a final act twist, it turns out that the letter was a joke played by Dorothy's uncle Henry, who wanted to bring some excitement to Dorothy's life.
He succeeds, but the audience isn't so lucky, having just watched a girl digging several holes in several different fields, for four hours.
Prequel to:
It's A Wonderful Life
The Plot:
Starring Hayden Christensen at his most dreary, as a near-suicidal George Bailey.
It's A Life is the most realistic depiction of the daily working life of a Buildings & Loans company man ever seen during the blockbuster season. It's intended as a satire of reality television, but it accidentally makes reality television seem really fun.
Essentially Death Of A Salesman but ten times duller, or Big Brother but six million times duller.
The Sequel To The Prequel:
It's Still A Life continues at exactly the same point where It's A Life finished.
It's Still A Life somehow manages to be even more boring that the first one, because we know exactly what's in store for us by this point.
A man, filling in forms, for three hours.
Prequel to:
Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope
The Plot:
JJ Abrams directs this stunning re-boot of George Lucas' dated 1977 blockbuster.
We follow the adventures of Chris Pine's Luke Skywalker, Zachary Quinto's Han Solo and Malin Akerman's Chewbacca as we finally get to see what happened during the Clone Wars.
Near-constant space battles and lightsaber fights added to a starring role for a helmeted Robert Pattinson as Boba Fett make this the greatest film ever made in the history of films.
The Sequel To The Prequel:
It's so good that a sequel is greenlit instantly. It's called Star Wars Volume 2: Darth Vader Comes Back. Sadly, it's shit.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

that the country will auction off oil fields in April. The tender - the
first of its kind under President Rafael Correa - will include some fields
surrendered by oil firms whose contract renegotiations failed in November.
The companies were Brazilian state oil firm Petrobras, China's CNPC, and
two smaller firms. Petrobras' Block 18 will not be included in the auction
as Ecuadorian law prohibits the sale of a field already in operation.
Further details are not yet available.
Brazilian state oil company Petrobras has made a $1.76 billion offer for a
40 percent stake in ethanol producer ETH, according to Dec. 11 reports.
Petrobras is eager to develop its biofuels sector and aims to surpass
local firm Cosan in the industrialization of ethanol and other biofuels.
ETH refused comment on the report and the biofuels unit of Petrobras
denied that it is in talks with ETH.
Bolivian state energy firm YPFB and Spain's Repsol announced late Dec. 10
via their consortium that they have found a new natural gas field in
eastern Bolivia. The Rio Grande field, which was discovered in August
2010, is expected to produce 6.3 million cubic feet of natural gas per day
and 250 barrels of crude per day. Rio Grande's reserves are estimated at 1
trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The find will support both Bolivia's
domestic demand for natural gas as well as the country's contractual
export obligations to Brazil and Argentina.

Dear Summit (and Rob and Tom) We Twilight fans would love to have Tom Sturridge (Aka...Robert Pattinsons best friend and all round gorgeous and adorkable person, Aka Tomstu) cast in Breaking Dawn.

Doubled the sauce for 4, grilled strip steaks and served it with Tre Vigne's garlic chive mashed potatoes. Simple and scrumptious.
Excellent!! This dish was a perfect Friday night treat. Served with small baked potato and steamed brocolli, but next time I might try the hashbrowns suggested to soak up the extra sauce. Husband raved about it too. We'll definitely have this again.
This was delicious!! Made it with veal and it tasted like a resturaunt dish. Served it with parmesan roasted potatoes and green beans with lemon and hazelnut (both from this site). Try it!
The sauce was delicious, elegant, and very easy. I multiplied the ingredients by 5 (had 10 people for dinner), skipped the sirloin, and prepared a beef tenderloin instead. Rave reviews from my dinner guests.
This was so easy to make and full of flavor. It is a great example of how easy to make food can be elegant and complicated! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic dinner main course without the mess and lengthy preparation.

By Keith Buglewicz
If there was ever a case for, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," it was the Chevrolet Tahoe. GM's stable of full-size SUVs – which includes the GMC Yukon – already dominate the full-size SUV class to the tune of owning around 70 percent of the market. They outsell Ford 5-1, and Toyota 10-1. Yet Chevrolet went all out with the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, giving it an all-new chassis, all-new styling, an upgraded suspension and engine, and an interior that's more luxurious than the last-generation Cadillac Escalade. Throw in class-leading technology, and it's clear that there's little out there to dethrone this king of the road.
If you need real 4-wheel drive (4WD), if you tow a trailer or a boat, and if you want to do that surrounded by the best interior and some of the highest tech you can get in the segment, then this is your ride.
If the idea of a full-size SUV is just too much vehicle, if you value fuel economy over sheer towing capacity, or if you can't stand upright inside your garage, then you might want to pass on the new Tahoe.
Everything about the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is new this year. It now rides on an all-new frame derived from the new-for-2014 Chevrolet Silverado. The engines have been upgraded with advanced technology to improve horsepower and fuel economy, and the new interior could be out of luxury sedan.
Driving Impressions The 2015 Chevy Tahoe is still a big, heavy full-size SUV, yet Chevy has managed to infuse the new Tahoe with a smoother ride, sharper steering, and overall better driving...
... dynamics than you might expect from such a large vehicle. Key to this is the available Magnetic Ride Control (MRC), standard on LTZ trims, which adjusts the stiffness of the shock absorbers in milliseconds according to changing road conditions. The result is little body lean for a vehicle this size, but with a compliant ride. Unlike its competition, the Tahoe still has a solid rear axle – normally that means a harsher ride – but MRC helps here, too. The suspension, newly responsive steering and 355-horsepower V8 engine combine to make the Tahoe easy to drive on mountain roads. The biggest downside is fuel economy, which hovered in the mid- to high-teens despite tricks like cylinder deactivation.INTERIOR
This is the best interior treatment we've ever seen in a domestic SUV. We're not exaggerating when we say the 2015 Tahoe LTZ interior is nicer than the one in the previous-generation Cadillac Escalade Platinum.
Better late than never, they say. While much of the Tahoe's competition has embraced fold-flat seats for more than a decade, this is the first time you don't have to remove this big Chevy's third row to maximize cargo room. The power fold mechanism even works quickly.
The 2015 Tahoe's driver's seat features multiple adjustments, so it's easy get comfortable. The materials feel upscale, and we liked the easy-to-understand control layout. Adults will wish the 2nd-row captain's chairs adjusted forward and back, not just for seatback angle, but that's better than the tiny third row – its poor footroom and legroom make it for kids only. There's not much space behind the third row for cargo, but the new raised floor – there to help make a flat cargo floor when the third row's folded – features a handy storage area beneath it.
ExteriorWith the 2015 Tahoe, Chevrolet continues to put daylight between its pickup trucks and the SUVs based on them. The new Tahoe shares no exterior panels with the truck it's based on, giving designers unprecedented freedom. The silhouette is familiar, but the sharp-edged styling, sculpted flanks, and cool LED-accented headlights strike a bold look for this big brute. Parked side by side, the Tahoe looks wider than its GMC Yukon cousin – credit the wide grille, which blends into the headlights. We also liked the optional power running boards.
Every Tahoe comes with the 5.3-liter V8 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. Base LS trims get cloth seats, Bluetooth for phone and audio, automatic climate control, and rear parking sensors. Mid-range Tahoe LT trims get forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, Chevrolet MyLink infotainment, and Bose audio as standard equipment. The top-line LTZ trims add rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot alerts, Magnetic Ride Control, and 20-inch wheels. Note that if you want to seat eight passengers, you can't go higher than the LT since LTZ trims come only with two captain's chairs in the middle row.
If you miss the old-time feel of a front bench, the 2015 Tahoe LS is your dream vehicle, since you can still order one. The LTZ's luxury touches – most of them anyhow – can be had on the LT thanks to the $2,705 Luxury Package. The $3,305 Sun, Entertainment and Destinations package bundles navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system with Blu-ray, and a power sunroof on LT and LTZ trims. The security package adds a vehicle tilt sensor – in case someone tries to steal your wheels – and an interior motion sensor, a relative bargain at only $395.
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe comes with one engine: a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. That sounds familiar to Tahoe fans, but this engine is significantly different from its predecessor. It features direct injection, which helps improve fuel economy while also increasing power and torque, a nice trick. It also features GM's Active Cylinder Management, which imperceptibly shuts off half of the cylinders under steady cruise to help preserve fuel. The engine comes connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission. And of course, you can get 4-wheel drive with a proper off-road-ready low range.
5.3-liter V8
355 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
383 lb-ft of torque @ 4,100 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/23 mpg (2WD), 15/22 mpg (4WD)
Prices increase across the board for the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe by at least a couple thousand dollars. LS trims start at about $46,000 for 2-wheel-drive (2WD) models, while mid-range LT models start at about $51,500. If you want as much chrome and leather possible on your Tahoe, the LTZ trims start at about $61,000. Add $3,000 if you want 4-wheel drive on your Tahoe. That's more expensive than a Ford Expedition and Nissan Titan – the Toyota Sequoia is about the same – but the Tahoe is a big step up in equipment and refinement. Historically, the Tahoe's resale value is no better than its Ford and Nissan rivals, and trails the Toyota Sequoia.

Review this carBy ryan92683 on Tuesday, July 29, 2014
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 4,500
overall rating 4 of 10rating detailsPros: "great look. Comfortable seats, safety features"
Cons: "Suspension on LTZ is unbearable."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"My 4x4 LTZ Tahoe drives like it is on a railroad track. With extensive experience driving the older LTZ Tahoes and Suburbans, I can tell you the ride quality on the 15 LTZ is completely lacking. I purchased this car because of the premium, magnetic suspension, and I have been thoroughly disappointed, as the ride is unbearably harsh. I am almost contemplating trading this car in unless GM fixes this, as I cant imagine driving this thing for another 5+ years. I must say GM did do a fine job with the refresh overall though. I just wish the ride was much more comfortable."

"I must admit that I have mixed feelings on my purchase. With only 650 miles I have had service as at highway speeds I had vibrations and the passenger seat electronics are bad and needed to order parts, a little concerned with only 650 miles and this wasn't an inexpensive purchase. My past Tahoe ran like a champ with 165,000 miles, my only reason for getting rid of it was it had an oil leak, rear main."

The alley cats behind our workshop are a constant source of amusement. One particular cat has taken to lounging on a side-turned mattress. He is so very into that mattress that he let me get super super close to take this iphone pic.
There is a well known institution in Rhode Island called Iggy's Doughboys, where Iggy's sells Doughboys. Doughboys are kinda like a doughnut, but without the hole. Powdered sugar, chocolate, etc are all common toppings. Seeing as I am only in Rhode Island for one more day I needed to hit up my local haunt.
We arrived just before the storm. OMINOUS, isn't it!
I was a little piggy, I ordered a lobster roll, three clam cakes, a cup of New England clam chowder, and a coffee milk. Coffee Milk is only found in Rhode Island. If you read the ingredients you quickly learn it has nothing to do with coffee, but still tastes like it. It comes as a syrup and you mix it with milk, just like chocolate syrup, except WAY better!
Mom Weekend
My mom turned 65 today, and she does not look it. She still runs her own general contracting business and still swings a hammer with the guys she employs. It's kept her young and strong and I'm grateful. Most parents settle into retirement about this age. My parents, however, are still doing all the renovations on their house in Rhode Island by themselves.
This week I'm up in Rhode Island visting them for the celebration and just enjoying the water.
My sister and I grew up spending summers here. Seems posh to have a beach house, but this little beach neighborhood is very much working-class. There's not a lot of fru-fru here. I greatly dislike fru-fru.
When I was about 8 I didn't have many friends in Rhode Island so my mom put a sewing machine in front of me and taught me the basics. I made hats, pillows, big pillows, little pillows, littler pillows, a game case for my Nintendo video games, and more pillows... they were easy to make for a beginner.
If someone asks me how I got started in design I guess this is it.
Just a little self portrait. I kinda like a composition.
Chicken Ride
One of my artists (and friend), David William, and friend, Nathan Manuel, were in the (e)merge Art Fair this weekend. I stopped by to say hi and ride a chicken. One artist made a roast chicken that you could sit on and ride just like the old airplane rides outside of grocery stores. Only 50 cents and it was well worth it.
Grand Central Terminal
Jeff and I are hard at work designing our booth for the Grand Central Terminal Holiday Fair. It is the premiere Holiday Fair in the country and an honor to be invited to participate. Last year this event was a huge BOOM to my company, helping up spread the word to NYC and surrounding areas. Over 1,000,000 people pass through Grand Central Terminal each day during the holidays. Can't pass that up!
We like to make models before committing to actually building out the space. Also building models is just plain fun.
Pepperoni Rolls - Future Pirate Chef Cookbook Entry
Behold the majesty of the Pepperoni Roll. I developed this little concoction while hanging with some friends for the weekend. The local grocery store didn't have much in the way of food, but they had some odd essentials, which I managed to turn into a culinary wonder... The Pepperoni Roll!
Here's what you'll need:
1. Pepperoni (This time I used Turkey Pepperoni as it's 60% less fat... as if that'll matter by the time these are done)
2. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (one package is enough to make 4-5 of these Pepperoni Rolls)
3. Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
4. Preheat oven to 375
Unroll the Crescent Roll dough, making sure to keep two of the crescent triangle together so that they form a rectangle that looks like this.
Place 5-6 pepperoni slices in the middle of the dough.
Add one mozzarella stick.
Wrap up the little concoction, making sure to pinch the edges and seal it all in. Double check to make sure the crescent roll perforations are sealed. Remove excess dough from ends and save for a potential 5th roll. One crescent roll package has 4 rectangles of dough, though if you remove the excess dough after you pinch your pepperoni rolls closed you can get enough dough for a fifth roll.
Place then in a non-stick pan, leaving an inch or so between each one.
Next place your pepperoni rolls in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. You just want them a wee bit golden brown.
Eat as a full roll or cut them up into little bits as an appetizer. Soooooo Gooooood!

[OS] AFGHANISTAN/US/MIL/CT - Gates says no hasty U.S. troop cut in Afghanistan

By David Alexander and David Brunnstrom
BRUSSELS, June 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on
Thursday there would be no hasty U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan
and Washington expected the same from its allies.
Gates, speaking ahead of the start of President Barack Obama's planned
troop cuts in Afghanistan next month, said a "rush to the exits" would
jeopardise military progress in Afghanistan.
"We are making substantial military progress on the ground...these gains
could be threatened if we do not proceed with the transition to Afghan
security lead in a deliberate, organised, and coordinated manner," he told
a news conference after a meeting of NATO defence ministers in Brussels.
"Even as the United States begins to draw down next month, I assured my
fellow ministers that there will be no rush to the exits on our part, and
we expect the same from our allies."
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told a news briefing the NATO
ministers all pledged no such rush to leave at the Brussels meeting and
that he was confident Washington would base its plans on security
conditions in the couutry.
Obama is expected to announce he will bring a sizable number of the
100,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan home starting in July and U.S.
lawmakers have been piling pressure on him to accelerate the end to a
long, costly war.
Washington's NATO allies are also keen to get their troops home, but some
expressed concern in Brussels about the impact on the 10-year-old Afghan
mission of too deep a cut in U.S. troop numbers.
"Last year the American government sent 30,000 additional troops ... they
have announced they will withdraw some of them this summer," German
Defence Minister Thomas De Maiziere said.
"We fully understand this, but we are a bit concerned that if it were too
many, the strategy might not be implemented as originally agreed. We are
counting on a measured pace of the American president," he told reporters.
British Defence Secretary Liam Fox, whose country has 9,500 troops in the
nearly 50-state International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan,
said cuts should be conducted carefully.
"What is important is that we maintain our combat strength ... to make
sure we are not giving any space to the insurgency to wreck all the work
we have done," he told reporters.
Rasmussen said he was confident the alliance could stick to its timetable
for handing over security to Afghan forces by the end of 2014.
He stressed that the process of this transition, which is aimed at
allowing a gradual reduction in foreign troop levels, was "based on
conditions, not calendars".
De Maiziere said Germany would stick to its plans to start withdrawing its
4,900 troops at the end of this year or early next year, depending on
Fox said the aim was for British troops to end their combat role by the
end of 2014 with a gradual withdrawal leading up to that date, again,
depending on conditions.
Spanish Defence Minister Carme Chacon said Spain's 1,500 troops would
stick to a timetable for handing over to Afghan forces in Herat province
this year and in Bamiyan next year.
After the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 2, U.S.
Congressional opposition has quickly grown to a war that now costs over
$110 billion a year and has yet to yield decisive results on the
battlefield or in marathon aid efforts. (Additional reporting by Ilona

Nokia Lumia 800: Hands-on with the Phone that Could Save Nokia
The Lumia 800 is a stunning handset, with beautiful curved edges. It's made from a single piece of polycarbonate which ensures that it feels tough but not heavy. I've been using the black version but it's the vibrant Cyan version which has really caught my eye. The design is near-identical to the N9, the handset running Meego that, unfortunately, never made it to the UK.
Like the iPhone 4S, the Lumia uses a microSim which sits under a flip-out door at at the top. This door doesn't actually flip back which is a bit of a design flaw in my opinion. I flipped it back too far and now it won't close and has a horrible dent in.
Of course the main difference with the Lumia 800 to previous handsets is that it runs Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, version 7.5, codenamed Mango. Right up to version six, Windows on a phone was horrible – cumbersome, fiddly and slow – everything you don't want with an operating system. Thankfully it's totally different now.
All features are displayed as Tiles which run vertically down the screen and you flick up and down. You can also change the colour, choosing from a selection including red, green, blue and even lime and pink! Some of these tiles are live which means they update automatically. For instance, if you have an XBox Live account, your avatar will move around the tile.
What's particularly good is the integration. Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook for business and, of course, Hotmail accounts are all supported and you can choose to view them together or separately. In addition, when you sign in to all of these accounts, all the contacts sync into the People list. It's pretty good about linking contacts so automatically pulls together, for example, John Smith's Facebook, Twitter and Gmail details so they're all in the same place.
The 3.7-inch screen isn't the largest on the market. Although it's the same as the iPhone 4S, Nokia's includes an AMOLED screen which has a fantastic contrast ratio including very deep blacks and bright colours. It's great for movies and games.
If there is a weak spot about the phone, it's the camera. It's a respectable 8-megapixels and there's an LED flash but pictures are disappointing, shoot in less-than-favourable conditions (ie a British grey day) and shots looks dull and soft with muted colours. From anyone other than Nokia this would be acceptable but Nokia has a pedigree of including excellent cameras on its phones so it's a huge disappointment.
Nokia has a lot hinging on the success of the Lumia 800. Over the last few years the company has seen Samsung, Apple and HTC eat into its once dominant market share. Microsoft, too, needs a hit for its Windows Phone operating system which just hasn't been as successful as Android and iOS. If Nokia's huge fanbase buy the Lumia, it could be a huge hit.
I really hope the Nokia Lumia 800 is a success. It deserves to be. The simple interface makes it a great handset for someone looking for their first smartphone and the build is fantastic. Check out my full review here.
At the moment there's been no official word from Nokia as to how sales have been going. However, Orange confirmed it had more pre-orders for the Lumia 800 than any other Nokia phone – including the N8.
The Lumia 800 is out now on Vodafone, Three and Orange and it's definitely worth checking to see if you can get some discounts.

Wash. state auditor deployed to South Korea
Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley is in South Korea on a two-week military deployment.
The Associated Press
Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley is in South Korea on a two-week military deployment.
Office spokesman Matt Miller said all employees in the auditor's office were notified about the deployment on Friday. Kelley has been overseas since Sunday or Monday. The office didn't make a public announcement about Kelley's absence.
While working as state auditor, Kelley is also a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard and works as a JAG officer. Miller says Kelley rarely gets called to do National Guard work during the week and that deployments are also rare, with the last one happening two weeks ago. Miller also says Kelley has been in regular contact with his executive team during his time in South Korea.
The News Tribune of Tacoma (http://bit.ly/14mRMXf) first reported on Kelley's deployment.

I have more than 30 rental homes(most of them 3000 sq ft) which we upgraded after buying them in last few years. Most of the work involves painting, hardwood flooring, tiling, kitchen cabinets, bath upgrades etc. Right now I have been using just imagination and experience. When you watch TV shows they quickly draw upgrades on computer to give an idea how it would look. Can anyone point me in direction as to where to get started. This is my hobby/business/passion apart from being a practicing physician, so I am willing to put some effort into it. I will appreciate any help. |

Sketch Up. But, the tool is only as good as the operator. It won't magically transform your abilities. For that, you need the designer who understands the whys of what is being done. Just like if you gave a scalpel to a chef, he still couldn't perform an appendectomy even though he's fairly used to cutting up meat. |
Those TV shown programs cost several thousand dollars. The link below is for a decent DIY program. It will not be as fast/inclusive as the TV show programs, but the older version I have works well. |

Can 20-20 be bought by an Owner-Builder? If so, about how much does this software cost? Thanks! Carol |

5-10K plus yearly licensing fees. |
kabir, I re-did my kitchen five years ago. I tried a half dozen Kitchen Design software offerings and found them either expensive, difficult to master with a steep learning curve, or more typically both issues! I ended up using ikea's FREE kitchen design tool. In that generally I used standard size cabinets, it allowed me to quickly move islands, peninsulas, sinks, etc. My cabinets looked nothing like the ikea cabinets, but it allowed me the ability to quickly make concept changes and run them past my wife. Also, she could look over my shoulder and explain why certain things would or wouldn't work. In the final analysis, I came up with the design using the free Ikea software and then turned over that result to my cabinet supplier for detailed design. I'm sure some will laugh, but give it a try. It's free and you'll know in less that a half hour whether it is any help to you! |

20-20 Design v10 can be bought at a discount for about $3,000 with online training. It's primary advantage is the ability to show kitchen cabinets from manufacturers' catalogs. A kitchen is more than a collection of cabinets and appliances and kitchen cabinet suppliers will draw them for you for free. IMO SketchUp is the best way to quickly visualize the space. |

My second bromeliad(the first was a Tillandsia i grew a long time ago). From my understanding you water from the top and not the soil correct? Also i'm pretty sure this one is gonna put pups out soon and the mother plant is gonna die. any further advice would be great. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by sunshine_qld Qld Aust (My Page) on Sat, Sep 7, 13 at 21:56
Water the soil as well but don't keep it wet. Leave your pups on until about 1/3 size of mother before taking off. You will probably get more pups come then. It is still flowering so will be a while before it dies. Maybe a year. |
- Posted by CactusBoss Zone 5a (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 23:01
Do you have to remove the pups? I wont have enough room for all the pups that its going to produce. I see some roots coming up from the soil is that the start of a pup? |
- Posted by sunshine_qld Qld Aust (My Page) on Mon, Sep 9, 13 at 6:11
You don't have to take the pups off, but when they are about 1/3 size of mum cut her out and your pups will fill in. The pups will come up in the bottom leaves. I usually pull these leaves off once the pups are growing as it allows a better shape. As your potting mix is a couple of years old it would be better to repot. Just cut most of mums roots away when you do as the pups will make their own.. |
- Posted by CactusBoss Zone 5a (My Page) on Mon, Sep 9, 13 at 16:19
I don't think it matters if the potting mix is old cause i thought bromeliads take up all their nutrients from the air and only use their roots for support. The thing that concerns me is the dry air of my home. Can it survive with misting and a small pebble tray that is nowhere near as wide as the plant? I'd say at the very lowest the humidity drops to about 8%. I heard that a lot of bromeliads readily adapt to the average home conditions but idk if that means dry air.the reason i got this plant is because it was $5 marked down from $20. |

I can't help you with that as I grow my broms outside all year round. |
I got by with my neoregelia indoors (W-SW window) for 4 months and saw no ill effects. I think the tank on neos goes a long way to keeping the plant prosperous even indoors. I did mist mine daily, heavily enough that the entire plant got a full coating of water every morning. That being said I think it's fair to say most broms do better outdoors as long as the temps don't hit the lower extremes. |
- Posted by CactusBoss Zone 5a (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 20:04
naoh123 did your bromeliad die of natural causes or did it show ill effects after 4 months? I live in zone 5 so weather does not permit growing these outdoors for half the year. I also mist mine 4 times a day heavily. |
This post was edited by CactusBoss on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 20:06
No death, no ill effects, the weather just got right 4 months after getting it so its been moved outside. |

Hard to tell much from those pix. What kind of medium is it planted in? "i thought bromeliads take up all their nutrients from the air and only use their roots for support" Well, kinda. More important is that all media breaks down and if it doesn't drain well you may see the conditions you are seeing. tj |
- Posted by CactusBoss Zone 5a (My Page) on Thu, Sep 19, 13 at 20:26
It's in whatever the nursery grew it in. I checked the roots and they look fine. The condition of the leaves hasn't changed over the past 2 weeks or so. I got a little concerned when I looked up Neoregelia and I didn't see any that have the curled leaves. However somebody said it could be a genetic trait. There were 2 other Neos at the nursery and they both looked like this. |

If our hands-on descent into the throes of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries wasn't enough of a taster of how the new 3DS spin-off will work, maybe it's time to take a look at the game's trailer all on its own. Here's what Capcom has seen fit to reveal to you, their adoring public: all things considered, it's pretty generous with the eye candy.
Above: The latest teaser for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries for the Nintendo 3DS
At first blush, the trailer presents the title less as a mini-game (even one worth completing RE5 just to unlock) stretched out to cartridge-filling size, and more like a greatest-hits of the last two RE titles, with any and all story elements replaced by added opportunities to punch zombies in the face. What do you think of the action on show? Would you pay $40 for a standalone Mercenaries? How mad are you that I'm just calling Ganados and Majini "zombies" like they're all the same thing? Hit the comments board and let us know.

Anyone on the 11th Nov Base Camp trip
I was just wondering if anyone is going on the Base Camp trip, leaving on the 11th Nov?
Hi Sarah
Not going on 11th, but I'm booked on 7th November. Hope the training/kit selection etc is going well.....
Good luck
Aw, shame you're not going on the 11th! Looks like it's just me on my own at the mo :0 Training not so good, I broke my toe the other day, so am just sticking to cycling at the mo. Looks like it's going to be an intense October! You?
Good luck to you too!
Nightmare about your toe - hope its better soon. Training is going OK, although I'm still concerned about fitness!! Just trying to do as much walking as possible and have banned the use of all lifts! Still trying to work out exactly what to take, I've heard so much conflicting information. Am going with my 2 brothers - tried earlier to get in touch with others but no response - might just be the three of us on our trip. Can't wait to be honest.
I'm still deciding on what to take too, although I think I'm going to buy my down jacket over in Nepal, it's so expensive over here. I think as long as you've got worn in boots, everything else you can buy out there.
Toe is ok - I think. But now's the time where I'm going put in a lot of training. :0
